Yeah, I'd definitely redouble my advice to break up Application into smaller, standalone, reusable bits. The problem with any overarching framework is that it's a vision (i.e. your vision), and other people's visions never peer review well, whether in academia, here in Boost, or anywhere. Also, unless you're a member of Boost's steering committee and/or on the C++ standards committee, any vision you propose probably won't be given any benefit of the doubt unfortunately.
